About Me

Hello! Thank you so much for visiting me in the Attic, it's lovely to see you. My name is Lucy and I'm a happily married Mum with three children. We live in a cosy terraced house on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales in England which we are slowly renovating and making home.

Little Squares Cushion :: ta-dah!

I know technically speaking I've already made a Little-Squares-ta-dah post before, but hoping you won't mind seeing it again in cushiony form as opposed to flat form.

I'm really, really happy with it. Loving it even.

The thrifted wool jumper that I eventually managed to get hold of to the make the backing looks great. The colour is really scrummy, even better in real life than in these pictures.

Yes, I'm really in love with this cushion.

As promised, I've been very very busy writing up a cushion-making tutorial for you. It's been a real challenge actually. Much harder than I anticipated. I really hope I've done alright and that you'll be able to follow it without too much difficulty. I finished the tutorial at lunch time today and you can find it over to the left there at the bottom of my sidebar. Usual place, listed as a Page, or click here.

Hoping you can make use of it, and I look forward to hearing about your cushiony thrills and spills....don't forget you can now share photos with us all in the Attic24 Inspired group pool on Flickr too.

Right I'm off for a cuppa, have a lovely day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Edited to add :: after being asked about the pattern for the basic two-round granny squares used in this cushion, I realise that this is something I've not yet done...tut tut!!! I'll see if I can do a basic granny squares tutorial soon for those of you who are new to crochet and looking for a good beginners project to learn with. After the Circles Scarf pattern though :o)

Do you have a tutorial for the small granny squares used in this cushion. I'm kind of a beginner and I would love to try to make these squares. I put crocheting down about six months ago to plan my wedding... but your blog has sooooo inspired me to start back. Thanks for what you do, I'm such a fan :)

this is a fab site, only recently discovered, starting the hexagon granny blanket soon (after a trial run, easier than I thought), but also love the little squares, where is the pattern ???? Can't wait to try this tooooooo. Simple and easy to follow instructions, keep it up :D

Thank you i hsve been waiting for this as i have two to make up. will post pics on the flickr group once finished thank you x also i have started a ripple blsnket using your psttern, it was a bit tricky at first but it is coming along nicely, and it crochets up really quickly love it!!

Lucy! Hello! I found this artist over at Flickr. (I was browsing around the photos after your post on how you find inspiration there). I think you might enjoy some of her stuff. I know I did! Here's a link. http://www.thaneeya.com/pages/shop/shop-original-artwork-3.htm
I like all of her color saturated mosaics like "Blissful Esprit" Hope you enjoy!

Lucy,
Your cushion is gorgeous, as ever!!! Every stitch, every color you chose, every tiny button, and the tutorial, sharing with us all this beauty you have in your hands and in your heart. It´s all just perfect and it warms ones heart!
thank´s.

I stumbled across your site recently. I'm absolutely loving your creations - do you sell them anywhere? I'm just asking because I know that as soon as I show my wife your blog, it's the first thing she'll ask....
